*Prologue-Part.2*

"Sir, it's me; Natalie!" the maid shouted from the other side of the door.

Desmond had lost his posture at this point, I scratched his skin while his attention was towards the door and once he winced, he lost his control and tripped onto the side of the couch.

I was finally free, but he retracted almost immediately. I had to grab some good air as his palm had almost suffocated me. I was already up on my feet.

"Hel---" once again, I was silenced, but this time he had grabbed me from behind, his hand wrapped around my mouth.

"Sorry, what, sir?" the stupid maid didn't hear my whimpers or the struggle going inside the house.

"I said, you are off today. I'm wor---king out so do---nt - - disturb me." He muttered through the gritted teeth, shaking his hand on my mouth in anger by applying pressure.

He was angry at me for fighting back.

"Okay!" Natalie ignorantly voiced back and soon she had left.

My only hope was lost. Did I waste the only chance I had?

No!

I put my hands on his hand that was clasped in front of my stomach, holding me close to him, leaving my lips free but there was no one to hear my cries. I pinched his skin, digging my nails as deep as I could until he grunted and the moment his concentration broke, I swung my foot back and hit him on his knee.

He finally let go of me, dropping me on the floor and wincing in pain.

He was athletic and strong, I knew he was going to get his posture back very soon. But before he could do so, this time I rushed upstairs.

I knew I had left him behind enough to reach my room. My heart was pounding loudly in my chest. I entered the room and in a flash move, I slammed the door shut on Desmond, who was merely inches away from getting his hands on me again.

I whimper loudly, holding my dress up to cover my chest. I hadn't even realized he had exposed my breasts partially at this point.

"You know it's not hard for me to slam this door down, right?" he banged on the door and yelled in his deep heavy voice.

I had my back resting on the door as I sobbed loudly.

"Open it Ayleen!" he suddenly calmed down, no more banging, "Open the door like a good girl. You know you can't get away from me, it's just you and me now." his voice was giving my whole skin goosebumps.

"Look, you even dropped your phone downstairs, so tell me how exactly do you plan on escaping me now?" he snickered wickedly.

My eyes bugged out in shock and terror when I realized he wasn't telling a lie, I had actually dropped my phone in the hustle.

What was I supposed to do now?

"You escaped Benjamin, but you won't escape me." the taunting tone of his and the statement he made shut me up. I went completely silent, frozen on my spot.

How did he know about Benjamin?

"Not sobbing anymore, eh?" I realized he was standing too close to the door, almost like his lips were an inch away, "You have two sisters right? Hmm, what about Benjamin? Your father sold you to that Mayor's son Benjamin, right? What if I give them a call? Or, what if I take away your job, then you have to go back to your country and face Benjamin." my world began to swirl at his words, he shouldn't have known my weakness.

"Now, I'm not going to do anything. I won't do all that, but there is a condition." He went silent for a moment, "You will open this door right now, make eye contact with me while you strip to completely nothing covering your body. From today onwards, you will not struggle whenever I need you and you won't tell my girlfriend, the mother to my child, anything. This will be our little dirty secret, so what you say?" The snickering voice and the slow whispers of his from one side of the door and my poor heart and burning tears from the other side of the door.

"I'll count till 10 and if you didn't open the door, I'll make sure Benjamin gets his hands on your sister." He wasn't joking, his threat zones me out.

I wanted to scream in anger and desperation, but there was no time to do all that as he had already begun counting.
